HiJoJo Partners is an independent asset-management company established in 2017 by Spiridon Menzas that specializes in assembling and distributing "target funds" investing in U.S. and other global unicorns. Through both online and offline channels it has sold more than ¥500 billion worth of funds to Japanese investors as of 5 February 2026, making it one of the country’s largest players in this niche. The firm is registered for Type II Financial Instruments, investment management, and investment advisory businesses and counts major Japanese financial groups—such as Credit Saison, Mizuho, SBI, MUFG Innovation Partners, and others—among its shareholders. HiJoJo’s model aims at the “democratization of startup investing” by giving domestic high-net-worth and retail investors access to private, late-stage equity previously limited to institutions. With the fresh capital, management plans to expand its business foundation, deepen global partnerships, and broaden the range of attractive investment opportunities it can offer clients. The company also envisions listing funds that bundle promising unlisted companies, potentially creating a new domestic trading market for private shares.
